About Me

A transplant to New Orleans, I had to get used to the high humidity, heat and hurricanes after living in the San Francisco Bay Area for almost a decade. I'm a food lover and enjoy sharing my finds with my friends.

Midway Pizza

I went to Midway Pizza on
Freret last night with a couple of friends. This place bills itself as the only
Deep Dish/Chicago Style in New Orleans.

We started with bread sticks – there was a nice, gooey layer
of cheese but the sticks were made from the pizza crust and were just a little
too dense for my taste. Also, the accompanying sauce was pretty darn bland.

The pizza itself was plenty good – lots of cheese, a good
quantity of toppings and a peppery quality to the sauce. The dough was chewy
and had a lot of mouth appeal.

Because the pizza is deep dish, most folks will be fine with
two slices. The three of us split a 14” and only one piece was left over.

The waitstaff was very friendly, with a number of them
stopping by the table to check on things. They were quick with refills and
fixing our rocking table.
